New Bird

So, we are crazy. No, WE aren't, TIM is!! For as long as I can remember, he's wanted a cockatoo but since they run $1500 or so, plus the cage and accessories, that wasn't ever going to happen, or so I thought. A couple weeks ago his mom called and there was a cockatoo that needed to be 'rescued'. Long story short, he drove up to Michigan and picked up the newest member of our family, then turned around and drove home. She was a free adoption and came with all her accessories. She is quite sweet (although at the moment she is trying to find her place so is trying to be a bit dominant and aggressive, but it shouldn't last long). Her name was Nicki, but that's not much of a bird name so we changed it to Chloe. (Ok, I know that's not really a bird name either but it's better.) She's already learned her name and when we walk in the door or she hears us, she'll say "Hi Chloe" as an indication that she wants us to come and get her. It'll be an adjustment period but I think in the end she'll be a great addition.
